🤔 Range Bar countdown…

  Hi,

  Is it possible to get the countdown to bar close for range bars, displayed on the vertical axis as per normal candlesticks?

  Thanks

  Hi, here you have:

  defparam drawonlastbaronly=true box=5 if islastbarupdate then rangeNow=high-low NextChange=box-rangeNow distUp=high-close distDn=close-low countUp=distUp+NextChange countDn=distDn+NextChange drawtext("Dist.Up: #countUp#",barindex+2,max(open[1],close[1])) drawtext("Dist.Dn: #countDn#",barindex+2,min(open[1],close[1])) drawsegment(barindex,close+countUp,barindex+5,close+countUp) drawsegment(barindex,close-countDn,barindex+5,close-countDn) endif return

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18

  defparam drawonlastbaronly=true box=5   if islastbarupdate then   rangeNow=high-low NextChange=box-rangeNow distUp=high-close distDn=close-low countUp=distUp+NextChange countDn=distDn+NextChange   drawtext("Dist.Up: #countUp#",barindex+2,max(open[1],close[1])) drawtext("Dist.Dn: #countDn#",barindex+2,min(open[1],close[1])) drawsegment(barindex,close+countUp,barindex+5,close+countUp) drawsegment(barindex,close-countDn,barindex+5,close-countDn) endif return

  Thanks Ivan.

  That’s very clever. My mistake though, I wasn’t specific enough.

  I’m actually using range bars with:  Box Size Method = Ticks (100)

  Is there any way to count the ticks and display it counting down from 100, 99, 98, etc?

  Btw, is it possible to display on the Y-axis or only the chart area?

  Thanks! 🙌

  Ok, so it will be like this:

  defparam drawonlastbaronly=true boxTicks=75 box=boxTicks*ticksize if islastbarupdate then rangeNow=high-low NextChange=box-rangeNow distUp=high-close distDn=close-low countUp=distUp+NextChange countDn=distDn+NextChange ticksUp = countUp/ticksize ticksDn = countDn/ticksize drawtext("Dist.Up: #ticksUp#",barindex+2,max(open[1],close[1])) drawtext("Dist.Dn: #ticksDn#",barindex+2,min(open[1],close[1])) drawsegment(barindex,close+countUp,barindex+5,close+countUp) drawsegment(barindex,close-countDn,barindex+5,close-countDn) endif return

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21

  defparam drawonlastbaronly=true boxTicks=75 box=boxTicks*ticksize   if islastbarupdate then       rangeNow=high-low    NextChange=box-rangeNow    distUp=high-close    distDn=close-low    countUp=distUp+NextChange    countDn=distDn+NextChange    ticksUp = countUp/ticksize    ticksDn = countDn/ticksize       drawtext("Dist.Up: #ticksUp#",barindex+2,max(open[1],close[1]))    drawtext("Dist.Dn: #ticksDn#",barindex+2,min(open[1],close[1]))    drawsegment(barindex,close+countUp,barindex+5,close+countUp)    drawsegment(barindex,close-countDn,barindex+5,close-countDn) endif return

  Hi Matty,

  If you are already using the “Countdown to bar Close” setting, this counter will change to a “tick” counter when you use a “tick” graph…

  When using, for example, a 100 tick graph, the counter will count down the ticks from 100 to 0…

  (Right click on the Y-axis and check “Display countdown to bar close”…)
